Lesson 38 Everything except the weather唯独没有考虑到天气 过去完成时 一般过去时 让步状语从句

First listen and then answer the question: Why did Harrison sell his house so quickly?

My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England.

我的老朋友哈里森在回到英国以前曾多年居住在地中海地区。

He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country.

过去他经常幻想退休后到英国，并计划在乡间安顿下来。

He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there.

他刚一回到英国便买下了一幢房子住了进去。

Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold.

但紧接着他就开始抱怨那里的天气，因为即使那时仍为夏季，但雨总是下个不停，而且常常冷得厉害。

After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock.

在阳光下生活了那么多年的哈里森对此感到惊奇。

He acted as if he had never lived in England before.

他的举动就好像他从未在英国生活过一样。

In the end, it was more than he could bear.

最后，他再也忍受不住。

He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country.

还没等安顿下来就卖掉了房子，离开了这个国家。

The dream he had had for so many years ended there.

他多年以来的幻想从此破灭。

Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.

哈里森把每件事情都考虑到了，唯独没想到天气。

过去完成时经常与一般过去时连用，表示过去某个动作发生前完成的动作。与过去完成时连用的表示 时间的词或词组有 when，after，as soon as，(not) until，by that time，(never) before，already，for，since， just，no sooner…than，hardly…when 等。过去完成时不能与副词 ago 连用（ago 只能与一般过去时连用）。

no sooner…than… 一…就…（关联词，引导时间状语从句，主句里常用过去完成时，than后面的从句用一般过去时）相同用法的还有 as soon as，the moment，on doing。

no sooner 放在句首就要倒装

had no sooner完成时的中间… than 一般过去 ...As soon as 一…就…(用于句首)

1, for [ 2, 3 and 4 ] (只是初级连接示例)
第一件事

for

第二件事第三件事第四件

for(表原因时) 与 because 不同，for不能用于句首，并且在 for 后面必须重复主语：I don’t have a car, for I can’t afford it.
for conj. 因为，由于as conj.虽然，尽管；因为，由于because conj.（说明原因）因为，由于
for不能用于句首，后面主语不可省略引出一个原因状语从句because 一般跟在主句后面，强调讲话的对象可能不知道的原因。
在中文的关联词里出现了“因为”就要说“所以”，但在英文里不能成对出现的。因为在英文中有规定，在两句话里只能使用一个词去连接。
even though

as if / though + 句子 似乎, 好像
引导表示方式的状语从句，如果从句为过去完成时则是虚拟语气，描述与事实相反, 后面的条件是假的连词 as if/though 引导方式状语从句，通常跟在描述行为举止的动词之后，如 act，appear，feel，look， smell，sound 等后面
  • He acted as if he was poor. (as if 后是真是假, 应根据上下文来看)
  • My leg hurts as if it was broken.
  • She acted as if she were mad. （虚拟语气）

hardly…when… 还没来得及…就…
He had hardly opened his eyes when he was knocked out.用法同 no sooner…thanHardly had he left the room when the traveler entered.hardly had sb. done when… (hardly 在句首, 要倒装)

这两组连词意义都和 as soon as 相近，但更正式。它们通常都与过去完成时连用。当 no sooner 和 hardly 位于句首时，后面的主谓结构都要颠倒顺序： no sooner / hardly + 助动词 + 主语 + 动词 

no sooner…than 一…就…hardly…when 几乎未来得及…就…
No sooner had he begun speaking than he was interrupted. 他刚一开始讲话就被打断了Hardly had he got into the bus when it began moving.

The dream (that) he had had for so many years ended there. 定语从句(关系词做宾语可省略)

语法知识分析主谓（长难句） 更新于:2024-01-30 07:56:12

分析主谓 没有连接词时就需要分析主谓，第一步先找谓语动词。

长难句通常是一句话讲了多件事，然后通过连接词连接起来。通常情况下我们需要通过连接词、谓语动词等断开句子变在简单句就可以理解句子的意思。

The dream he had had for so many years ended there.一大包一小a包b，则b是从句。所以这b一个定语从句（名词+从句省略了连接词）
找到谓语动词断开句子通过谓语动词向前找主语结构：主主谓谓、主谓主谓识别宾语从句、定语从句
The dream ended there.he had had for so many years.
She knew she was near the shore.  谓语动词后+从句，所以这是一个宾语从句（主谓主谓）
She knew (从句)she was near the shore.
The present she gave me was very amazing. present做为gave的宾语省略关系词（主主谓谓）
The present was very amazing.she gave me (the present).
..the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen. 主+谓+介词+名词+定语从句（主谓主谓）
the girl struggled up the cliff.towards the light she had seen.  定语从句 the light做为had seen的宾语
结论：主主谓谓，中间是从句；主谓主谓 后面是从句。

you bet = certainly 当然了、肯定了
